Revealed passwords can't be copied.
I noticed this in Version 79.0.294.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit), but not sure if the problem started happening in this version.
what I'm sure is that it used to work on both Google chrome and Edge insider. not being able to copy revealed passwords make it hard to use them on other places when we need to.

@HotCakeX I've been checking each Edge Dev update to see if copy was working again. It looks like as of version 80.0.345.0, it is working again.

I guess I'll be checking next week's update for Dev (if it's the 352 canary version) to see what it does for me. I know I went probably a month of two not being able to copy passwords. Now it's working on this version (345).

Well, here's something. I still have Edge Dev version 80.0.345.0 and I said how I was able to highlight the password on that version. Now I can't highlight it any longer. And it's after I installed the latest Windows 10 build 19037. When I had 19035 installed with this Edge Dev version, I could highlight the passwords, but with 19037, I can't.

I just installed Windows 10 build 19041 and also just got version 80.0.355.1 of Microsoft Edge Dev and I cannot select any password to copy.

Since the Edge Canary/Dev browser and the Google Chrome browser both use the Chromium browser engine, you would think that they would both function similarly. In the case of the Chrome browser, I'm able to select and copy passwords, even when it seems like some Windows 10 builds and Edge versions don't necessarily jive together all the time.

I downloaded the public release of Microsoft Edge (Version 79.0.309.65) that is available today and I'm able to copy passwords with it. I still can't copy with the current Edge Dev version I have. I'm not sure that's always been the case though because sometimes I've seen the copy work, but most of the time it doesn't.

After trying a few things, here's how you can highlight a password. Whenever you move the mouse cursor over a Username or Password, you'll notice the cursor changes from an arrow to an I-beam, which is normal.
What doesn't work correctly is when you try to highlight the Password while the cursor is an I-beam. This doesn't work for whatever reason. You can highlight a Username whether the cursor is an arrow or an I-beam, but not a Password. You can only highlight a Password when the cursor is an arrow. You can select any part of a password. You just have to make sure the cursor is an arrow.
